Thug Does the Unthinkable to 12-Year-Old Boy Over an Argument About Food

A shocking and heartbreaking story has emerged out of Memphis over the weekend involving a thug that literally executed a young 12-year-old boy because the boy’s older sister refused to make the man something to eat.

WHBQ reported that 12-year-old Devin Johnson was allegedly shot and killed in his own home on September 30 by a man named Caterrious Williams following an argument Williams had with his girlfriend, Johnson’s older sister.

Williams had arrived at the house unannounced and demanded his girlfriend make him something to eat. When she told him no, Williams is alleged to have pulled a handgun and engaged in a physical altercation with the woman, only to pause when he heard a noise in the kitchen.

Williams demanded the woman check out the noise, which she did, but upon her return to the room in which Williams was located, she saw him standing over her brother and watched as he fired the gun. The thug immediately ran past her out of the house.

WMCA reported that the 18-year-old Williams had arrived at the home of the victim around 3 a.m. to make his demand for food.

The young boy’s mother, Cecelia Barry, didn’t recall hearing the gunshot, but instead was roused from her sleep by the screams of Johnson’s sister.

“All I heard was my son’s name and I took off running out the room to his side,” stated Barry. “And I found my son lying in blood.”

“I just hate burying my nephew. It’s just going to take time,” said Alan Berry, Johnson’s uncle. “(Williams) doesn’t have a heart. He’s very cold, very spineless. He deserves to go where he’s going now.”

According to WREG, Williams was arrested by the Memphis Police Department and has been charged with first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse and aggravated assault, and is being held with no bond.

Of course, Williams has denied having any involvement whatsoever in the shooting death of Johnson.

This is just terrible, and is a distressing sign of the sad state of our society these days, when an argument over food can end up with a young boy being mercilessly executed in the middle of the night in his own home.
